Our mission

Abundant, cheap energy for Central America and the Caribbean.

Cheap energy is the main force behind prosperity and innovation. We build power plants and the software that runs them, so the region has more energy at a lower price.

Energy is prosperity

Every leap in living standards has come with more energy per person. For the region to grow, energy has to be plentiful and cheap. That is what we work on.

The plan

  1. 1 Now

    Build solar + storage plants

    Low-cost solar with batteries, sited where the grid has room. Cash flow and a track record from day one.

  2. 2 Next

    Unlock geothermal

    Team up with leading geothermal technology and capital partners to tap the region's volcanic heat for clean power around the clock.

  3. 3 Then

    Scale across the region

    Grow to a meaningful share of the region's electricity, always priced below the market.
